What I am wondering is whether most people are making a small incremental jump in their phone (such as S2 to S3), or a huge jump.
I'll go first... I currently have an HTC Desire HD. It is nearly 2 years old now and it has done me amazingly. I plan on running a custom rom on the S3, just like I did on my DHD. With that in mind I may not notice as bigger difference as some people, although that all depends on what CM9 has in store for us.
How about you guys?
I got a Galaxy S2 and a iPhone 4S. And soon a Galaxy S3?
I got a S2. I upgrade to get a bigger screen.

Most people are making relatively small upgrades. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that the people on XDA seem to be phone addicts!!!
I cant believe the number of people who have two phones! How come... work and business, or different networks to ensure signal?

Coming from a SGS1, stupid 2 year contracts. While the SGS3 will be a big upgrade for me, by the time the SGS3's 2 year contract is up I will be thinking it's old hat and drooling over whatever 4K resolution, octo-core 3Ghz 5" beast Samsung have out at the time.

Same here. Long time HTC fan, coming from an HTC Desire S (1yr old). First Samsung phone for me. Hope it doesn't disappoint. My only concern is if i'll be able to live without sense. But seeing what they've done to Sense 4, I'm not sure i'll be able to live with it anyway... IMHO, Sense 3.5 was the pinnacle of HTC's Sense UI... Sense 4 seems like a downgrade, so I think i'll be fine (fingers crossed)
The original Galaxy S. Looking forward to the S III
At the moment Huawei Ideos X5, HTC Wildfire and Transformer Prime. Huawei being my main phone at the moment. I traded few months ago my SGS2 to Omnia W and then got rid of it pretty quick, because the WP wasnt my thing. Been waiting for SGS3 since then.
Coming off the horrible HTC Touch Cruise i went on and got the first iPhone. That was a revolution! I´ve since had all the iPhones up to my current iPhone 4. Now I feel the time is right to check out the *other* side of The Force.

Why choose? Theres a phone for every occasion. But since you asked, the HTC incredible cause its mine, the previous generation (cheap!) and covers all the bases...for me anyway.
I got my first and only Android device in May 2010. I love it. I have only learnt how to root the device and install custom ROM's in the last 3 weeks! So I have been out of the loop for sometime. But for me, the HTC Desire is the perfect phone!
My next phone will most likely be the HTC Sensation. Will set be back quite a few pound coins (Still can't believe I took a 24-month contract!) , but it will be worth it!

htc glacier aka mytouch 4g version of desire hd, in the US , on tmobile. best smartphone i ever used. continues to amaze me on a daily basis!
Been all over every android phone, from G1 to the Droids, Galaxy S to the G2x, the only two phones to ever impress me, the Nexus One, and the Thunderbolt.
The Thunderbolt should have been the Nexus 3.
Perviously I had turned BB and Apple fan boys into android fan boys with the Nexus One.
Now I have turned moto, galaxy lovers into htc fan boys with the Thunderbolt.
Its absolutely amazing, sans sense of course, theres nothing wrong with sence, I've just always perfered vanilla android.
My two current phones of choice are the Galaxy S and the Nexus One. But I'm gonna get the Galaxy S II, so I think that will become my favourite Android phone when I get that.
I think the soon coming Evo 3D will own.
The phone now I am using is Samsung Vibrant(Galaxy S),satisfy. Yet my favorite one might be Moto Atri 4G.

Yeah that may be a good choice, Or even the next HTC (the Ville?) It is quadcore and 720p HD screen.
What was your interest?that would determine which Android phone suite for you.
A minimum 4 inch screen
Dual core or more procceser
Full hd video recording

I was going to post a similar question..
My HTC Desire HD is sadly having hardware issues and I need to replace it.
I need a phone in the next couple days.
The HTC Ville was my choice, but I don't think I'll be able to wait for its release!
I'm looking for advice on Androids already on the market.
Min. Requirements:
- 4" Screen
- Dual core
- 1GB RAM
It has to be an international phone.
A qwerty (physical) keyboard would be an amazing add-on, but from my googling I don't think that is available with the above specs.
I would love to hear your thoughts.. Thanks
And for the OP.. If you could wait for the Ville, do it
Is ville better or s3

If you can’t wait then I would recommend Google Nexus Prime. If you willing to wait but not for long I would consider looking at “Galaxy SII skyrocket HD” rumors has it that it will be released sometime in March. Finally, if you can wait and you are not in a hurry then I would consider the next gen phones with quad core processors such as Galaxy SIII and HTC Ville as they are going to be some of the first phones that will come with ICS preinstalled

I just came back from the mobile shop, i played around with the nexus prime..
I really liked the screen on that thing! And ICS feels/looks great..
However, what i didn't like is:
- no sd card slot (
- 5 megapixel cam ( my DHD has an 8 and it's 2 years old)
- I've never liked the build of the Samsung smartphones.. Compared to the builds of HTC phones, Samsungs (including the nexus prime) feel like a toy in your hand; or am I the only one who feels that?
So I'm not sure whether I'm willing to sacrifice the above.
I will check the Galaxy SII skyrocket HD.. I'm not sure what to do.. I guess I'll keep on looking.. I don't wanna wish it!
Cheers

My opinion: Galaxy S2 will be a very good option, in fact, the best option before ICS generation.

HI,
I recently bricked my phone trying to flash Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire S (apparently installing a rom on that phone is like running in a mine field).
It worked for an hour before totally crashing the phone.
CM7 was so amazing that I was wondering if there were any phones on which you could install it with close to 0 risks. I mean, it seems to be a piece of cake on the Nexus, but are the Samsung phones safe as well ?
Because after using CM7 I really can't stand HTC Sense anymore and I know that the HTC phones aren't the easiest one to root.
(I know that there are always some risks while installing a rom, I just want the phones with the lowest risks)
Sony Xperia S
My desire is wonderful.. but.. not NFC, bad camera, bad screen etc..
But I love it ...
one vote for SGS2.
Ville with quad? wut
Where do people read that Ville will recieve a quad-core processor?
Ville is supposed to be a DHD predesessor, with a dual-core clocked @ 1.5 GHz
whereas the HTC Edge is the one with quad-core (and this perhaps being a Tegra 3?), with 720p screen, Sense 4, NFC, 4G and international aswell.
I'm getting this as soon as available in Denmark!!
I know there was another thread on this - but that was old.
So here's another one!
What's your next phone?
Going for a Huawei?
Going for Samsung again?
Going over to HTC?

I'm hoping to still get several more months, maybe a year, out of my Vibrant, so that's TBD right now. But if it died on me today I'd pick up a Galaxy Nexus since they're (relatively) cheap without a contract.
S III. Going to get an upgrade on October, so might as well, unless a better phone comes out during then (not planning to get an iPhone any time in the future.)

My 2 years are officially up in August. I'm hoping there will be some sort of leak for the next Nexus phone because I'm not blown away with the S3. :/
I think I could get another 6-8 months out of my phone but I'd rather upgrade to a phone that actually allows me to get 4G data and fully functional GPS.

Or one of the next Nexus phones.

So far all indications point towards me getting a GS3

So far, I love everything about it. Especially the lack of bugs (and abundance of features) in AOSP based roms and kernels!

I'm curious what it is about the Vibrant that you like over the Nexus that keeps you going back to it? Been looking at the Nexus, but still really satisfied with my Vibrant and don't want to invest in a phone that's not a significant upgrade.
Got a one s. I thought the lack of removable battery and no sd card slot would kill it, but I don't see it bothering me much. Galaxy s 3 would have been my choice but I heard its gonna be watered down anyway.

Sounds like most of you are going for either the Galaxy SIII or the Galaxy Nexus.
My only worry in this regard is the screens.
The screen is what draws you to the device and Super AMOLED HD screens (minus the plus) just don't do it for me.
But yeah my phone is just dying. So glad I didn't keep that Moto Cliq around though... THAT would be a nightmare.

So I guess you've decided it for me!
I'm going with Samsung again and getting a Galaxy SIII!
Snapdragon S4 processor is ok,
2GB RAM will put me in a haze,
Let's just hope battery life better than the Vibrant's graze.
I would like to know which phone you are upgrading from and what do you think of SG3 compare to your old phones.
I am thinking of buying the SG3 but I think people will think differently depending their previous phone experience.
Just had a xperia s from Sony for a couple of weeks, as soon as I saw this device at work I sold my Sony and bought this beast...

Hey guys.. I wanted to get your opinion on the galaxy 2. It's upgrade time and I just can't make myself pay the 276 dollars T-Mobile wants for the galaxy 3. It looks pretty good in the reviews, just wondered if anyone has had one and if it was a good one. Or if anyone knows. A way around the price of the G3. Thanks in advance!!!
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Don't get the GS2. Call and cancel your service if they ask you why then tell them I want to upgrade but don't want to pay too much for the GS3. They should redirect your call to a "specialist" tell them what's going on and see what they can offer you. That's what I had to do to get the Amaze. I've been with T-Mobile for atleast 8years and its sad that they give the new contracts better deals than loyal customers.
As he said. ^_^

go to wallmart or sams. at sams i know sgs3 is running for $148.88 for tmo and sprint and $99.88 for att. now that is a huge diff b/w the price at sams and corporate stores.
I've have BOTH
Well had both, the S2 is off getting repaired for a defective power button (caused phone to go in a consistent bootloop). Honestly it's all on personal preference, and I'm still trying to choose which one I want to keep. Each phone has it's pros and cons. Amaze has an excellent camera, and much better build quality than the s2, but the S2 has much better Development. However, if you are going to be flashing ROMs with the S2 MAKE SURE you use good kernels. There are kernels out there that will corrupt the eMMC of the device and brick it completely. Other than that, they both are GREAT phones. But I wouldn't take an T-Mobile upgrade on a phone that isn't REALLY an upgrade.

Tbh I think you're right, except the Note II is better than the amaze too. Only because of the expandable memory, otherwise the HTC one s is the same phone but thinner and sexier.
And just because its a top 3 phone for tmo, doesn't make it a good device.... it just proves that tmo had crappy phones. The battery life and hw quirks are unacceptable for the amaze
